Existence of Quantum Crystals
v1.3 research notesProve that, as the number of nuclei tends to infinity, the ground state of some neutral system of nuclei and electrons approaches a periodic limit, es...
A Tracy-Widom Central Limit Theorem
v1.3 research notesThe fact that RMT, and the Tracy-Widom distributions, arise in so many problems in so many different areas leads one to the following question: how ca...
